“Anyone that buys a home in Ahwatukee without a termite inspection…is asking for trouble!”

Although there’s no Arizona law mandating a termite inspection purchase of a home in Ahwatukee Arizona, often a lender may require a Ahwatukee termite inspection prior to making your loan. When you understand the destructive nature of termites in Ahwatukee…a good termite inspection is a “must” prior to making the buying decision. Nobody wants to buy a termite infested home, nor do they want to discover hidden termite damage after moving in to their “dream home.”

Ahwatukee home buyers and experienced realtors should insist upon a thorough termite inspection and completed inspection report prior to agreeing to purchase any structure in Ahwatukee.

Ahwatukee is home to several species of termites. Most Ahwatukee termite inspectors are only familiar with one or two of the most common Arizona termites. This leaves the potential for an inexperienced termite inspector to overlook a termite infestation and/or hidden termite damage.

Ahwatukee is home to other wood eating insects such as Carpenter Ants, wood boring beetles and Carpenter Bees etc. An inexperienced termite inspector can overlook obvious signs of infestation or damage from these pests.

Not all Ahwatukee exterminators are the same. When considering the purchase of any home in Ahwatukee select a termite company with the experience and reputation to provide a thorough termite inspection and report.

A proper Ahwatukee termite inspection at a minimum should take 30 minutes; the average home can take 1-2 hours depending upon circumstances such as location, history, construction type etc.

Valuable information about evidence of previous treatments and termite history should be included in the report.

When an offer to purchase a Ahwatukee home is accepted…the buyer has ten days to complete a termite inspection report. All Ahwatukee termite inspections should be ordered and/or completed within the first couple days to allow the buyer(s) time to review the findings along with sufficient time for follow-up inspections.

If corrective actions and/or a termite treatment are necessary the buyer should insist upon selecting the termite exterminator as they will be dealing with that company in the future. A seller’s motivation is to select the cheapest solution as they typically pay for the service.

Corrective actions and/or termite treatments should be completed prior to the buyer(s) taking possession of the home.
